As 2013 comes to an end with certain unfulfilled expectation, God wants you to know that there are four thinking patterns that can make life too stressful. Please avoid them. No matter how big a balloon is, a single pin is all it takes to deflate it. Little stress of today plus the one of tomorrow can have devastating consequence on your health and indeed your availability for God to use. Can God use the dead? No! Also, remember that success always begins and it is sustained by your state of mind. Life battles don't always bow to the stronger or faster man. They bow to the man/woman who thinks positive always. If you die from stress, life continues. so chill out and note the following: (1) SELF-BALM: e.g. I locked my car keys in my car. How could i be so stupid? (2) BLAMING OTHERS: How could those car manufacturers be so stupid? How can the government be that wicked? Blaming others increases and multiplies your stress. Avoid it! (3) URGENCY: I can't for a panel beater or a locksmith. Should i just break the windows? why the hurry? Stress is killed in the garden of patience. (4) EXAGGERATING CONSEQUENCES OF PROBLEM(S): "Now i will be late to work and my boss is going to be furious and i will lose my job." What you fear may never happen. So put the problem and your future in the hands of your God (Proverbs. 3:6). Do your best and go to sleep. God is in control and the best will work out for you. Isaiah 49:16 (paraphrased) says: you are in the palm of Jehovah. You can't be forgotten. See Isaiah 3:10: 'say ye to the righteous, it shall be well..."Grab it and keep saying it to yourself daily. never forget this: Stress is killed in the garden of patience AND what you fear may never happen! Cut the stress off! resist worry!! Live longer for God and your family. Peace
